Honda crv 2012

2011-04-30T10:34:00.000-07:00

Mechanical: The 2012 Honda CR-V will continue its basic formula of a four-cylinder engine working through front- or all-wheel drive. Sources suggest Honda will essentially carry over the third-generation CR-V’s engine for the first few years of the new design, then transition to a new powertrain as part of a mid-cycle update, probably around model-year 2015. That would mean the 2012 CR-V would reprise a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that would again be rated around 180 horsepower and 161 pound-feet of torque. (Think of torque as the force that gets you moving, horsepower as the energy that sustains momentum.)
That would allow the 2012 CR-V to retain a competitive horsepower number but would keep it behind the class curve for torque. The 2012 CR-V would also remain off the pace if Honda chooses to continue fitting a five-speed automatic as the sole transmission. Top new rivals use more efficient six-speed automatics. CR-V’s default drivetrain layout will again be front-wheel drive, which puts the weight of the engine over the wheels that propel the car. That benefits wet-pavement traction. AWD will continue available at extra cost as a grip-enhancer on snow or loose surfaces.
It’ll again be a crossover-typical system that normally operates in front-wheel drive and automatically reapportions power to the rear wheels when the fronts begin to slip. CR-V’s design brief will never include severe off-road duty, but Honda would enhance the next-generation’s backwoods mobility by fitting it with a driver-selected switch to lock AWD into a 50:50 front-rear split at low speeds. Many rivals offer such a feature. While the 2007-2011 CR-V wasn’t known for responsive acceleration, it was a compact-crossover benchmark for sharp handling and composed ride. That leadership is likely to continue, given Honda’s suspension-design expertise, though some reduction in wind and road noise is necessary to keep the fourth-generation CR-V in line with more refined new rivals.

Of note we now not only know the engine’s power, but at what rpm. The new 2.4-liter makes just 4 hp more than the old 2.0 but does so at 800 lower rpm. More significantly, the torque jump of 31 ft-lbs comes on at almost 2000 rpm earlier.

2012 ford focus sedan

2011-04-30T07:59:00.000-07:00

2012 ford focus sedan
MSRP $17,270
One of the giant holes in Ford’s resume has been its near-insurmountable inability to make a great small car. It has made plenty of popular small cars, and the Focus was a very good car, but greatness has eluded them so far. For 2012, though, Ford has overhauled and redesigned the Focus. Have they finally made a great small car?

2012 ford focus sedan
The 2012 Ford Focus SE has a 2.0 liter, inline 4-cylinder engine that produces 160 horsepower. It has front-wheel drive, a manual 5-speed transmission, and 16-inch steel wheels. The Focus SE is rated at 28 mpg in the city, but a world-class 38 on the highway.
The high-mileage segment of the market has been dominated by the turn toward “green” hybrid cars, but Ford is demonstrating with the Focus that it is possible to get up to 40 mpg with a conventional engine. With the SE, Ford offers a Super Fuel Economy package that allows the Focus to join the “40 mpg club” on the highway

The Focus SE comes with a tilt-telescope steering wheel, a height-adjustable driver seat, full power accessories, and a trip computer. The audio system has 4 speakers, AM/FM radio, a CD/MP3 player, and an audio jack.
The Focus has anti-lock brakes, stability and traction controls, side front airbags, and side-curtain airbags. It also has the Ford MyKey system, which allows you to place limits on how fast other drivers, such as teenagers, can drive the car and how high they can turn up the stereo. The Ford Sync system with emergency notification is optional.
Conclusions and driver feedback:
The Focus is definitely a different car this year. The exterior tweaks, such as a rear spoiler and aerodynamic redesign, combine with a reworked suspension to give the Focus a ride that has been described as “European.” The steering is very responsive, and there is almost no body roll. Somehow, it pulls off the European trick of handling like a sport car without the stiff ride. The engine, though it gets great mileage, still has enough punch to accelerate the Focus nicely. On top of this, the Focus manages to ride quietly.
As good as the mechanical tweaks are, the interior improvement may be even better. The cabin is now made of high-quality, soft materials that make you wonder if Mercedes engineers are “moonlighting” in Detroit. The design is very attractive, too. The seating is almost roomy in the front and adequate in the back. While the Focus won’t win awards for cargo space, there is still enough for a small car.

There are a few negatives, but they are more the result of its size than any flaws. The back seat could use a little more legroom, and some find the controls on the optional Ford Sync and MyTouch screen to be a little confusing at first.
Ultimately, though, the positives far outweigh the negatives.
The verdict: this might be the best small car on the market

2012 ford fusion

The Ford brand is the most popular automotive brand in the United States, regularly beating Chevrolet and Toyota for top honors. The Ford Motor Company has worked diligently to bolster its namesake brand and has done so by offering numerous models for consumer consideration.
There are too many Ford models to mention here, but we’ve selected five which are fabulous and should be considered if you are looking for a new car or a low mileage used vehicle.
1. Ford F-150 – No Ford list can be written without mentioning the full size Ford F-150 pickup truck. Introduced in 1948, the F-Series is the best selling pickup truck line in America, powered by V-6 and V-8 gas engines paired with six-speed automatic transmissions. Available in two- and four-wheel-drive, in various cabin and bed configurations and trimmed the way you want it, the F-150 features a spacious cabin, excellent payload and towing capacities and, when equipped with an EcoBoost V-6, a nice blend of performance and fuel efficiency.
2. Ford Fusion – Ford’s current midsize sedan, the Ford Fusion, was introduced in 2006 and refreshed in 2010. This five passenger sedan is powered by a fuel efficient four cylinder engine or optional V-6. The Fusion has consistently proven to be a good value, offering better residual value than even the segment leading Toyota Camry. A hybrid model joined the line in 2010, offering 41 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, tops in its class.
3. Ford Edge - The market for midsize crossover models is very competitive, with most every manufacturer offering at least one model. The Ford Edge was restyled in 2011 and now offers improved fuel economy, better handling, numerous technology features including SYNC, Bluetooth and an advanced audio system and leather seating options. This crossover offers plenty of storage room and is suitable for light towing.
4. Ford Focus – New for 2012, the compact Focus sold in North America now matches what Europeans have long enjoyed. This car is roomy, sporty and offers class leading fuel economy, achieving 40 mpg with its most fuel efficient model. The Focus is a tuner favorite too, allowing owners to customize their rides with sport fascia, performance exhaust systems and a host of other features. The new model is available in sedan and hatchback body styles.
5. Ford Fiesta - The smallest Ford model is the Ford Fiesta, a subcompact car retailing for under $14,000. Modern, sporty and offering a roomy interior, the Fiesta is a fuel efficiency leader too, offering 40 mpg on the highway. This car features 10 airbags, a number not found on even most midsize sedans. You can customize your ride to make the Fiesta reflect your personality.
Other Ford models worth considering include the Taurus, Explorer, Escape and Mustang, top performers in each segment. Ford is a proven winner offering many submodels worth considering too.

2011-04-18T10:34:00.000-07:00

2012 Ford Mustang

The first special edition Mustang Boss 302 was unveiled back in 1969. It was the only time the 302 was approved for production and would be the only time until 42 years later. Today, the Boss man returns in the base form of a 2011 Mustang GT. Ford is not only bringing out a Boss, but they are also revealing a special edition Boss 302 Laguna Seca model, named for the track where Parnelli Jones won the 1970 Trans-Am season opener in a Boss 302.
The new Mustang Boss 302 is powered by a 5 liter V8 engine that delivers 440 HP and 380 lb.-ft. of torque, and is mated to a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission. The cars gets revised camshafts using a more aggressive grind, a more aggressive control calibration, a Boss-specific intake system, and a retuned induction sound tube.
On the exterior, the Boss 302 will be distinguished by either a black or white roof panel and a unique fascia and grille highlighted by the blocked-off fog lamp openings and aggressive lower splitter. It will also feature a redesigned front splitter. It will be available in Competition Orange, Performance White, Kona Blue Metallic, Yellow Blaze Tri-Coat Metallic, and Race Red. On the interior, it will get a unique Boss steering wheel covered completely in Alcantara suede and Recaro buckets designed by Ford SVT in cooperation with Recaro. The Boss 302 will also have a dark metallic instrument panel finish, gauge cluster, and door panel trim.
Now that all of the technical mumbo jumbo is out of the way, we have to say how excited we are that Ford was finally able to approve a model that was good enough to be called the Boss. Hopefully, we won’t have to wait another 40 years to experience another delectable version of the classic Mustang Boss 302.

2012 honda ridgeline

When Honda announced it would produce a tweener pickup (not quite large like an F-150, bigger than a Tacoma) capable of seating 5 and carrying on all the duties any good DIY (do-it-yourselfer) would want, truck loyalists scoffed. First off, the truck has unibody construction (vs. a ‘heavier’ duty body-on-frame of most trucks) which is (mostly) perceptually inferior than a traditional body-on-frame truck. And while most people couldn’t tell the difference, it was labeled (unfairly) a car-based truck. Truth is, car companies can make unibody trucks that are extremely capable. Second, Honda didn’t have any meaningful history with pickups. As Toyota learned the hard way, larger pickups are something that takes time to develop as the core buyers are extremely loyal to the domestic brands. It took Toyota a decade to break 100,000 units and they had a “feeder” system with hundreds of thousands of loyal Tacoma drivers on the road. Third, the competition is fierce. Ford and Chevy have such an advantage in the marketplace in terms of economies of scale and manufacturing experience. I mean, why take a risk on a Honda when a cheaper, more proven domestic pickup was actually superior? Personally, I don’t think the product was wrong in any way, but it wasn’t right for the brand. One thing is for sure, people who bought them loved them. If you look at the consumer ratings on Honk.com, the Honda Ridgeline scores a A-, which is just about as good as any other pickup in its class.
Overall, the Honda Ridgeline has been a sales flop for Honda. And while it initially achieved its sales goals of 50k units, the recent sales slump has dragged their sales volume below 20,000 units per year – hardly a sustainable number for Honda. Of course, Honda did spark a new resurgence in unibody pickup interest. Kia, GM, and even Ford have all been actively looking into unibody compact pickups, although many have said those programs will now go away. Truth is, the big boys have a grasp of this market and the DIY market has slowly retreated back into the cars they came from. I guess rebuilding your house is not as cool as it was a few years back!
Let me take a quick moment to douse a little 40oz onto the pavement for the Honda Ridgeline. One good note is that the Honda Ridgeline pricing should be pretty fantastic the last two years of production. I imagien the prices will start to fall now that the announcement has been made. Expect many incentives if you want to be the last 40-50K owners of this vehicle.
Let’s take another moment to bow our heads in silence to other unibody pickups that have failed before the Honda Ridgeline…

Honda Element 2012

2011-03-28T11:30:00.000-07:00

While the Honda Element may seem like just another boxcar clone, the element entered the American market well before Kia, Scion, and Nissan models. The Element has distinctive styling; it comes with a bigger body, one powertrain offering, and All-Wheel-Drive.The attributes that make the Element different from the rest include the visually-appealing interior, clamshell-cargo doors, and its well-appointed cabin. It's sold with a 2.4 L inline-four engine, and it is a bit bigger than the vehicle it replaces in this segment. The Element is an SUV alternative and is not necessarily ideal as an urban drive about. If you love the outdoors the Element may appeal to your tastes. Basic niceties include stain-resistant carpeting, upholstery that is waterproof, and add-ons like a cooler for keeping beverage chilled. You can even get the Element in a dog friendly version: the 2010 special addition that hosts a ramp, netting and stain-resistant components.Opting for the SC trim level you will discover a vehicle with superior on the road grip, a great suspension, responsive steering, large wheels, and a speedy drive

Debuting in 2010 was the Honda Crosstour and this vehicle is now a competitor in the growing Crossover Utility Segment. The Honda Crosstour is an Accord based wagon offering targeting empty nesters and retirees that are seeking sport, practicality, utility, and style. Since all the latter is identified in the Honda Accord, by extension, such features are also identified in the Honda Crosstour wagon.The Honda Accord sports a 2.5-inch shorter body than the Honda Crosstour. The Honda Accord has a .3-inch larger ride height and .1-inch larger wheelbase. The Honda Crosstour has .4 ft.³ more passenger room than the Accord as well is far more cargo space than the latter vehicle. Both vehicles have the same V-6 engine and five-speed transmission. The Honda Crosstour is sold with all-wheel drive or front-wheel-drive configurations.Consumers will find the styling of the Crosstour complex and somewhat compromised. The vehicle hosts an invasive strut towers located in the rear that diminishes the cargo capacity. It also has a sweeping roof contour that compromise is headroom. Nevertheless, the Honda Crosstour has light, tight driving dynamics

Acura TSX 2012

2011-03-28T11:17:00.000-07:00

Even in the 4-cylinder grade, the Acura TSX is a big Euro competitor. Its configuration stems from the Honda Accord. Smaller than the Accord, the TSX cannot be misidentified as an Accord sold in the United States. The TSX hosts an attractive frontend, loads of gadgetry, and advantageous features thereby making it a desirable car. The Acura TSX hosts a 2.4-Liter Inline Four motor churning out 201 horsepower. Car buyers can also get a 3.5-Liter V-6 engine generating 280 horsepower. The TSX remains ahead of the pack in the sedan segment, and competes with the Audi A4 and BMW's 328i. Soon, the carmaker will offer a competitive wagon-style configuration; this will let the TSX take the lead when competing with German vehicles in the car segment.The TSX is making headway as it competes with German and Japan cars powered by a V-6 engine coupled with rear-drive features. What the TSX lacks in driving power and speed, it makes up for in driving manners. The TSX will have improved appeal when the wagon configuration is introduced for

Acura rl 2012 Gets 6-Speed Automatic Transmission
First there were rumors that Honda would axe the Acura RL, and then came the official word that it wouldn’t, but here is the first sign that the RL continues to carry on – even if the car has become irrelevant.
While it’s not official for North America, Honda in Japan has announced that the Acura RL (still sold as the Legend there) will get a refresh for the 2012 model year that includes a new 6-speed automatic transmission. This may help the RL pick up a few extra buyers as the added gear should help improve both fuel economy and acceleration. Then again, perhaps its just a bigger sign of how irrelevant the RL is when the supposed luxury car is only now getting a 6-speed transmission – something Ford offers on the $13,000 Fiesta.
A selection of other upgrades and trim changes for the RL are made for 2012, plus it gets a unique new invention: an in-wheel silencer that is designed to absorb road imperfections.
No changes are slated for the 300-hp 3.7-liter V6 engine.
If anyone at Honda is listening, we’re certain the addition of a more Honda-like grille (rather than the Acura beak) would help sell a few extra cars here as well.

Acura rdx 2012

2011-03-28T11:02:00.000-07:00

Acura rdx 2012
The Acura rdx 2012, due out Summer 2012, will provide most owners all they need in a 4-door, 5-passenger luxury SUV. For the technophile, the RDX will add a Technology Package option to its single trim level, to offer better sound, more refined climate control, and wireless capability. Finishing with a successful 2012 sales year, the new Acura rdx 2012 will undergo few upgrades.
Power for the RDX is provided from a 4-cylinder, 240-hp, 2.3-liter engine with a 5-speed automatic gearbox, which gives excellent gas mileage, but lower than hoped power. In an era of elevated environmental awareness, the RDX offers gas mileage specs at 17-mpg city and 22-mpg highway.
The 2012 RDX exudes luxury with its standard two-phase automatic air conditioning with air filtration, paddle shifters, sports seats, hide-trimmed accents, and superior sound system including a 360-watt AM/FM tuner, 6-disc CD, MP3, 7-speakers, XM Satellite Radio. The RDX also sports a fully outfitted power moonroof.
New car shoppers who want more buttons and gizmos to play with while driving will think the RDX with the optional Technology Package is a tecchie's playground. They will enjoy barreling down the interstate while tweaking their new BlueTooth HandsFreeLink wireless telephone interface, tuning in on the AcuraLink satellite communication system with real-time traffic, or involving their every available moment fine-tuning the GPS-linked, solar-sensing, dual-zone automatic climate-control. Leaving no sense under stimulated, the Technology Package also offers a 410 Acura/ELS Surround Premium 10-speaker audio array.

While drivers are distracted from safely driving the Acura rdx 2012 by playing with the sound system or navigation system, passengers can find some consolation knowing that the RDX is intrinsically safe. Seriously, the RDX is equipped with side curtain airbags with rollover indicator, front side airbags with victim detection system, and Child Seat Lower Anchorage (LATCH). For alternative exiting solutions, the RDX is equipped with an interior trunk release.
Handling, ride, and cornering in the 2012 Acura RDX are on a par with its luxury pedigree; with 4-Wheel ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control all standard, keeping you right side up and front end forward. Then, there are some features that are just indispensable, like Inflation Monitor, Brightness-Monitoring Rearview Mirrors, Pedestrian Safety Lights, and standard remote Door locks. Best in its segment for quiet ride, the 2012 Acura RDX is solidly built and insulated so nothing shakes loose. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated the 2012 Acura RDX in front, side, and rear crashes as good, as in 4 out of 4.
